I've been sitting on level 40 all day. Bleh. Finished the main Dark Brotherhood quest and it was awesome, way better than Oblivion and even the Morag Tong in Morrowind. Related PP: Found out if I had done the Hircine quest differently I could have kept his ring AND had it uncursed. Very bitter about missing this.

More Stone Soup: 100,000 turns, four runes and still no Fulsome Distillation. Got some rad artifacts, a +4/+4 Quick Blade of Gut Gouging and from way back, the pure sex Poison Arrow/Staff of Energy with Freezing Cloud for some luls.

Might try the Slime Pits after this, despite lacking acid resistance. After my last stint there, I think I can make it, if I don't do something dumb.

Prioritize.

Edit: Went to check out the Gate to Zot and lo and behold, a potion of mutation! Chugged that shit down and took a hit to intelligence and "Space distorts occasionally in your vicinity". Sure, that's fine and- OHSHITFUCKVAULT-

Shadow Dragons, a Deep Elf High Priest, Lich, Fire Giant but I had a scroll of Blinking (Spell would have been near suicide) and escaped, to open another door to another vault. I should have known better. This is just like Elven Halls:5; Have teleportitis and you'll teleport in the midst of foes. Except here it's "random".

As soon as I get rid of it at the expense of my good mutations, I'm going back there to butcher the lot of them. Time for some hubris.

I think I'm almost done with the Thieves Guild but I keep putting off travelling to the extreme upper right side of the map because I have no map marker near there and I'm lazy. I quick travel like mad in this game because climbing over mountains or traveling around them really started to piss me off.

Climbing mountains can be a pain, yes. Much easier if you have a horse, as they pretty much go straight up the side of a mountain.

Anyways, I said in the PP thread that I had my console hacked. The recent FIFA 12 hack. Somehow people have, through EA's servers, been hacking into peoples LIVE accounts, spending their points, and in some cases buying more. It looks like they bought some FIFA 12 content with my 1300-something microsoft points, and tried to buy an additional 6000, which thankfully didn't work as the credit card on the account was old, and therefore got declined. So I called xbox tech support, and they said they'd have to lock down my Xbox LIVE account for the next 25 or so days as they look into the situation. Woooo...

Taking on Zot's Domain like a pimp, two-shotting Orb Guardians (And sometimes one-shotting) with Poison Arrow and spamming summonings to make some space from Orbs of fire before I blow 'em up.And then I got teleportitis again.

Killed a few Pan Lords and got the Glowing Rune of Zot like a beast while Pan-scumming for a Potion of Cure Mutation to get rid of my teleportitis. The last three got rid of most of my good ones but kept "randomly going berserk in melee". Still cruising for it while avoiding any other official Pan Lords.

Super Mario 3D Land. It combines all the best elements of the previous mario games and combines them into one amazing game, I would go as far as saying this is the best Mario I've played yet!And I've been playing Skyrim too. Protip for leveling up Smithing, just buy/steal/acquire a shit ton of iron and leather strips, make iron daggers, went from about 20-something to 75 (and up two levels) in just a little while. I REALLY wanted to be able to improve enchanted items. xD

Iron daggers and leather bracers are both good for fast Smith grinding. I also made a shit ton of jewelry because I had more jewels, gold and silver ore than I knew what to do with. Exquisite ancient shrouded armor ftw.
